I hate so much when someone uses != or == instead of !== or === in PHP/JavaScript. These people are fucking monsters.

There's pros and cons to loose types, a lot of cons if done wrong though.

Maybe I want to check "1" == 1 instead of "1" === 1 👀

Unpopular opinion - the monster is the loose type system itself, not the people using it.

I only use strict equality when checking for things like null vs. undefined where it actually matters. If you're comparing strings and numbers with ==, you either have no clue or you know perfectly well what you're doing.

depending on the case, as always has been.

I'll bet ya, that most don't know the difference. Because it's only some (most) loose languages that syntax.
I saw it early on, but didn't bother to look up the difference before I had code that broke because of it. (years into my career)

@AlmondSauce Not sure if that is the unpopular one.

@hjk101 It usually is if you're talking to PHP or JS Devs.
